PSALMS ยท Chapter 141
141:1 Lord, I cry unto you: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice,
when I cry unto you.
141:2 Let my prayer be set forth before you as incense; and the lifting
up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
141:3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works
with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
141:5 Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness: and let
him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my
head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
141:6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall
hear my words; for they are sweet.
141:7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cuts
and cleaves wood upon the earth.
141:8 But mine eyes are unto you, O GOD the Lord: in you is my trust;
leave not my soul destitute.
141:9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the
gins of the workers of iniquity.
141:10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I likewise
escape.
